Pakistan has been a string of bad news stories as of late; the latest one saw a governor assassinated. One of Punjabi governor Salman Taseer's body-guards did him in for being in favor of getting rid of blasphemy laws. Getting rid of those laws would give both non-Muslims and dissident Muslims protection against Muslim purists and/or being on the wrong side of the government.
Being done in by your own security is a chilling way to go; Indira Gandhi died that way as well. Such inside jobs make security nearly impossible to pull off if the bad guys can plant a mole or appeal to folks in a way that will make an insider turn jihadi.
The mission of terrorists is to make the status quo unbearable; that's why we see a lot of assassinations in Mexico where the narcos want free reign.
